Chapter 35: The Great Return of Thousand Miles (14)
Let us push the time back to 6:00 pm on September 23. That was when the battle in front of Baishan Pass was in full swing. At the same time, more than 500 cavalry led by Jiang Tao and Tian Jiafu, who had an important mission, also found the long-distance Japanese car hidden in the valley that the road near Xiao Sun's house passed through.
The reason why the Japanese auto troops were unexpected was that they did not stay in the relatively safe "Jingfu" county town, but instead stopped in this place that was still called a secret but not very safe. This was decided by Colonel Yoshihara himself. Colonel Yoshihara mainly considered that Jingfu County was far away from Baishan Pass, and there was a section of road in the middle that had been washed away by mountain torrents this summer, but the trip was not smooth. In order to ensure that the Japanese army could transport soldiers to various passes on the Baishan Pass line in time, they decided to hide the auto troops in this quiet place.
Colonel Yoshihara had not completely arranged the safety of the motorcade. The two squads of Japanese troops controlled the high ground on both sides of the valley entrance to protect the motorcade at any time. Even if one side of the valley entrance was attacked, the Japanese motorcade could escape from each side with the support of the Japanese troops on the high ground.
After learning about the Japanese army's defense measures through disguised reconnaissance, Jiang Tao and Tian Yafuichi plan to attack two valley mouths at the same time, and no matter which side takes the first move, they must fight against the valley.
If the frontal attack is directed, if the attack is sudden, Tian Jiafu's special operation team will still be dispatched. Under the leadership of Tian Jiafu and Chen Guozhong, two teams acted as the Japanese vanguards. Two companies behind them, Chinese cavalry, who had dismounted and changed into Japanese uniforms, followed them to the Japanese positions.
The attack on the high ground on the front and back valleys was quite smooth, because the two teams of Japanese defenders in the hinterland were not very vigilant. The Chinese army disguised as soldiers of the 63rd Regiment, which was the upper hand, was bullied by the Chinese army, and found that except for the difficult-to-determine those who were at the forefront, most of the "friendly troops" coming from the opposite side were disguised by Chinese soldiers.
Once the two armies had a fire, the Japanese who lacked automatic firearms suffered a great loss. Nearly half of the two squads were killed on the spot by the fierce firepower of the Chinese army. Although the Japanese army then made tenacious resistance, under the close attack of the Chinese army, which had an absolute advantage in the firepower of the troops, nearly 100 officers and soldiers of the two Japanese squads quickly turned into piles of rotten meat.
The Japanese automobile troops in the valley tried to rush out of the dangerous place at the speed of cars during the war between the two armies, but were destroyed by small cannons and heavy machine guns that had been waiting for the two valleys. Only a few vehicles rushed out of the valley entrance of the valley and fled south.
As soon as the two valley entrances were taken down, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion stepped onto the war horses and rushed into the valley, killing most of the Japanese drivers who had no combat effectiveness in the valley with one shot and killed.
The battle went smoothly from beginning to end, and the only leak was that during the battle, one of Tian Jiafu's subordinates disappeared. I knew that the powerful Tian Jiafu led people all over the mountains and fields to find them, but they could not see anyone but died. (This person actually took the opportunity to escape.)
The car had been found, and at around 10 o'clock in the evening, as soon as Ma Siyuan's troops arrived, Cheng Jiaji led the entire army to slowly retreat south under the cover of the cavalry.
The remnants of the Japanese army on the plain were not only frightened by the power of our cavalry, but also learned through the radio that the main force led by Lieutenant General Ogisu was still looking for a way in the mountains and could not rely on it for a while, so they did not dare to launch an initiative to attack our army.
On September 24th, at around 2 a.m., on the road leading from "Jingfu" to Yingshan.
A huge convoy of vehicles was moving forward on the highway, with a large squadron of cavalry behind them to protect the escort.
What is surprising is that the speed of the convoy's advance was surprisingly slow. Its speed was 12 or 3 kilometers per hour, just maintained a uniform speed with the brigade of cavalry behind the convoy.
This slow team is Cheng Jiaji's army, who has just escaped from danger. There are two main reasons why the team advances at the speed of this old bull pulling a broken car. On the one hand, it is that the team cannot be disconnected from the cavalry behind them; on the other hand, it is because the driver's source is too complicated and new, which makes the team even if they want to be fast or not.
After getting such a large number of cars, Cheng Jiaji and others were ecstatic and immediately faced a problem, that is, there was no one who could drive cars at all. After searching for all the divisions, Qian Shen, who was responsible for this task, digged three feet to the ground and found more than 40 people who could barely act as drivers.
These more than 40 "babyli, including the artillery battalion commander and his subordinates, as well as several former thieves who were with Tu Jingguo, and more were the original personnel of the military police battalion in Jiawangyou who were reorganized into the 100th Independent Brigade. These people alone are far from meeting the needs. What should I do?
Cheng Jiaji ordered, "If you don't know how to study, please draw more educated people from various division and brigade departments to organize emergency driving classes."
Therefore, with the order of Cheng Jiaji, the scholars who usually talked about pens and brides in the division headquarters and brigade department became enthusiastic. After less than two hours of training, the quick-driving driving class organized by the independent 100 division mass-produced a large number of road killers. After this trouble, no matter how many "drivers" were mentioned, they finally had more than cars.
In order to prevent his troops from being transported on the motorcycle, most drivers suffered heavy casualties due to their low skills (if not, if not,) because they suffered heavy casualties. At least Cheng Jiaji, who had obtained a driver's license in the 21st century, stipulated a hard measure, which would fix the gears of all vehicles in one gear, so that no matter how hard the driver stepped on the gas port, the speed of the car could not be increased. At the same time, Cheng Jiaji also stipulated that all the drivers who had just trained would drive a car, one was responsible for the accelerator and steering wheel, and the other was specialized in brakes. In this way, it would be difficult to have a large-scale rear-end collision.
After Cheng Jiaji's arrangement was particularly insufficient. He also sent many flashlight cavalrymen standing beside the road as human-shaped road piles and temporary traffic police in the area where accidents were more likely to occur on the road where the convoy was going to pass.
With Cheng Jiaji trying every possible way, along the way, many vehicles had slippage, extinction, and minor accidents such as two cars collided. What's more, two cars overturned on dangerous sections and injured several people, but the entire convoy's driving progress was generally smooth.
At this time, on a 94-type six-wheel automatic freight truck in the middle of the convoy, Cheng Jiaji, Qian Shen, Liu Tianlong, the elderly director of the Political Department, the Political Department, were gathering together to engage in "corruption". The four of them plus a captain and staff officer of the division headquarters who was equivalent to a senior messenger, and only five of them "occupied" a car. The spacious space allows them to lie down and rest while enjoying the cool breeze in the late autumn night, which is very uncomfortable.
"Haoran, can the Japanese cavalry catch up with this speed?" Liu Tianlong still has some doubts about whether the Japanese army can get rid of the current speed of the entire convoy.
"Brother Qi Tian, don't worry. Don't mention that the Japanese have gathered so many cavalry there. Even his brigade of cavalry is really chasing them. The light and heavy machine gun mortars on our more than 100 cars are not vegetarian. This speed is very good, and it's useless for the Japanese cavalry to come up. The infantry runs to adults and fuck him. Besides, before leaving the car, I asked someone to check it. The Japanese are still quite conscientious this time. The gasoline in the car is enough for us to drive to Huayuan Town, which is more than 200 kilometers away. When we arrive in Huayuan Town, you are afraid that the Japanese will be able to catch up. Brother Wei Li, I have been busy catching this driver training. Do you know whether the casualties of the troops are clear." Compared to whether the Japanese can catch up, Cheng Jiaji is more concerned about how many troops he has.
"Time is too tight, so I have to organize troops to get on the bus. I also asked me to count the heads. Including the minor and serious wounded infantrymen in the car, there were about 4,000 infantrymen in the car, and less than 5,500 cavalry behind them could breathe," Qian Shenluo replied a little embarrassedly. Since he became the deputy chief of staff of the Independent 100 Brigade, this is not the first time he has used so many words such as less than or so to answer Cheng Jiaji's inquiry, which made this top student who has always been rigorous and serious in handling affairs and work hard, and it has always felt that he was a bit dereliction of duty.
"That means that since we retreated from Mount Fujin, we were killed and more than 4,000 brothers were missing." Although we were mentally prepared, when Cheng Jiaji heard that there were only these troops left in his hand, he couldn't help but breathe in a breath.
"This number is still increasing little by little. The injured brothers are short of medical treatment and medicine. Many seriously injured people who have lost too much blood cannot survive. I estimate that at least about 400 brothers are going to go when they arrive in Yingcheng." It has never been Qian Shen's style of reporting good news but this time when talking about this heavy topic, even if they are cold as others, they still feel a lot of sighs.
In fact, the situation Qian Shen said was not an exaggeration at the time. If there weren’t cars to ride medicines and doctors, there would be much more than other troops. These 900 seriously injured people were shaking all the way, and they would be considered good if one-third of them survived.
"Staff Officer Lin, please ask someone to find Jiang Tao for me immediately, hurry up!" When he thought of the brothers who were desperate to kill with the Japanese on the battlefield, they did not die at the gun of the Japanese, but wanted to die in the arms of his own people because of the poor medical conditions, Cheng Jiaji felt his heart hurt. Some time ago, the whole army was in a dangerous situation, and he had no time to ask too much about these meticulous matters. Now he was finally far away from the Japanese. With Cheng Jiaji's personality, it was impossible to see these brothers who had the chance to survive and die worthlessly.
Jiang Tao came very quickly. After Staff Lin asked a communication cavalry next to the car to call him, less than twenty years later, the division seat summoned Jiang Tao, who was coming from the Pegasus, appeared in front of Cheng Jiaji and others.
"Battleman Commander Jiang, take the two cavalry brothers from the company and drive a car and divide it into several routes. I will get all the doctors and medicines from the nearby county towns and towns. Even the traditional Chinese medicine doctors and doctors in the countryside also count one, and don't let go of one. I'll give you a note, and you're going to the military service office to support a thousand oceans. We are the national force, not bandits. Remember to leave some money for others' families." Cheng Jiaji explained to Jiang Tao, who was riding a horse and following the car behind the car, and wrote a note to pay a thousand oceans.
"Master's seat, it's midnight. If people don't want to, can they use force?" Jiang Tao's camp also had many brothers, who were waiting to die in the "medical" vehicles that were loading seriously injured, and the doctors were waiting to die due to lack of medicine. When he heard that he had the opportunity to let the brothers who lived and died on the battlefield survive the peace, Jiang Tao's eyes were excited.
"The master's seat cannot be opened. It is a disturbance to ask a doctor at night. If I force myself to get it back with the medicine, what is my independent 100th division's love for the people?" The Etiquette, who had been closing his eyes and resting, quickly dissuaded him. Even if this Tongsheng from the Qing Dynasty was considered to be a military service, he was still a bit pedantic.
"Old Master! Now I only have more opportunities for my brothers to survive. For this purpose, even if someone sues me to the war zone or even the Military Commission in the future, I, Cheng Jiaji, will accept it. Besides, I asked Battalion Commander Jiang to bring the money!" Cheng Jiaji politely and firmly expressed his position.
The etiquette was about to persuade him again, but he saw the expression on Cheng Jiaji's face that he could not persuade him. Speaking of which, so many seriously injured people are indeed in urgent need of medicine. When he thinks about this, he keeps silent.
"You can use strong, but don't hurt people! If you find a doctor, you can send it back quickly. The brothers there are not too fast to hold on. They can also get more broilers and ducks to make the injured brothers look a little bloody on their faces." Cheng Jiaji said while handing the receipt written on his hand to Jiang Tao behind the car.
I don’t know if it was because Jiang Tao was able to do it himself or because the order under Cheng Jiaji that allowed the doctor to "kidnapping" had worked.
Less than three hours after Jiang Tao led the team away, his cavalry began to bring back voluntary or involuntary Chinese and Western doctors and some piles of drugs.
By dawn, Jiang Tao's troops not only found seventeen doctors and doctors, but also used the car to refill a whole truck of medicines, medical equipment, chickens, ducks, fish and meat. The cavalry under Jiang Tao were extremely busy when performing this mission. No wonder, were they the soldiers? When they were not injured, they even brought back all the medical facilities in a large town, including doctors and nurses, including beds for injectable injections.
Perhaps it wasn't long since I resumed writing.
Perhaps my mood has not completely calmed down, my writing status is not very ideal, and I am very dissatisfied with many of the new book. I am now greatly revising and revisions to published chapters can only be placed at the back.
But since I have written it, I have to have a chance to make a big shot, right? At 0:00 on Monday (March 3rd), the Chinese heroes are stolen at 00:00 on Monday (March 3rd). Please ask everyone to support them at that time, give more votes, click more, and collect more. It is best to bring all the big and small entries! Xiao Dong is so anxious to ask for help!
Chapter completed!
